HOUSEBUILDER Allan Anderson has just put his latest creation on the market - but you won't need a mortgage to buy it.

In fact, £1 could be enough to secure the handmade Regency mansion, a miniature dolls house being raffled off for charity.

The unique model was made by the skilled Hartshill grandad in a two-month labour of love and is being raffled to raise funds for Nuneaton's Mary Ann Evans Hospice.

Grandfather of five Allan, aged 69, said: "It's such a wonderful organisation and I do like this type of hobby.

"I thought it would be a nice gesture to help them raise more money for their wonderful cause."

The mansion took two months to build and is the fourth made by the retired aircraft engineer.

He said: "I try to work from plans as far as possible and then I put some of my own ideas in.

"It's a Regency design and I think it has eight rooms including the staircase. It has special paintwork and pebbledash on the outside to give it some character.

"It's unique."

The model is being raffled off by staff at Barclays Bank, Market Place, Nuneaton, and the winning ticket will be drawn on December 20.

Tickets are also available from the hospice.

Janet Griffin, fundraising manager for the hospice, said: "We're so pleased with the input of everyone - from Mr and Mrs Anderson, who have made the house, to Barclays who are really excited about supporting the hospice."

Allan's wife Joyce said: "We hope it makes as much money as possible, I think they have printed 1,500 tickets and that would be fantastic."
